      I tend to find myself involved in: at one extreme, very many varied small tasks, which are recorded/archived then intentionally forgotten; and at the other extreme: projects about which thought extends months or even years later. Between the two extremes: for me, things are hazy.
  • the same workflow hiccups show up again and again
  • an information management environment with built-in workflows that mirror what people hack together
  • three basic workflows everybody seems to construct for themselves, regardless of what tools they use
  • varying degrees of complexity and automation
  • These three workflows however, need to exist independently of each other
  • no complicated rule-builder
  • push-button interface
  • always assume a need for iteration and change over time
  • Peeling the Onion
  • Allow Organization to Change and Flow
  • the entire gamut of organizational affordances
  • Tagging
  • Filing, Rules, et cetera
  • won't ever be asked to decide between them
  • turn it into a Custom Attribute
  • Add semantics to a Tag
  • Custom Attribute
  • Drag a Tag or a Cluster to the sidebar
  • a Cluster: a way to thread items together, a way to reflect dependencies
  • Group collaboration systems exist in parallel with personal communication tools
  • does not scale down to work for small groups
  • the majority of the significant emails we send are sent while still in a draft-state
    • Graham Perrin

      This is very thought-provoking.
  • Future
  • a well-defined end-user information model
  • by modeling the user experience around how people work today and the substance of that work, we can be more than just another software tool and instead aspire to be a system for information management: A smarter way to work. A better environment for collaboration
  • We want Chandler to be able to talk to other applications
  • As we make Chandler's end-user information model richer, the number of interesting applications to talk to will increase. This is one of the many areas where we hope that people in the community will help increase Chandler's ability to talk to other applications

      Reading the April 2007 date of this story alongside http://blog.chandlerproject.org/2007/04/18/preview-update/ and http://blog.chandlerproject.org/2007/09/11/preview/ it's clear that the version (probably a checkpoint) tested by Dave Jewell predated the 'preview' by around five months.
  • Chandler is still an awful long way off from that magic 1.0 release
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      The OSAF vision of Chandler originated around 2001. In 2007: the preview milestone version was certainly (but not disappointingly) some way away from the release. Chandler 1.0 was released in August 2008.

  • we did not come all this way to end in Search, the biggest leap in information technology is yet to come
  • Search doesn't solve many of the biggest problems we face in our still nascent yet rapidly growing information-centric, information overloaded age

  • Chandler succeeds at meeting the needs of users who are tracking ‘knowledge work’
  • Chandler is not oriented around calendaring per se or around a complicated task and project landscape with many dependencies
  • we want Chandler to be more viral. We want Chandler to be easy to explain to others. We want Chandler to be found in contexts where people are already spending time. We want Chandler to be
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • even more useful as that user pulls in other people to collaborate
  • We want happy users be successful evangelists for Chandler
  • web widgets that might be deployed in different contexts — iGoogle, Facebook, on an iPhone, etc.
  • widgets should be compelling to a new user who does not use the desktop, in addition to providing features that complement the desktop. Eventually, the widgets can be building blocks
  • misperception in the press
  • Being a CalDAV reference implementation is not a priority.
  • the Microsoft product with the most overlap with our design objectives is probably OneNote
  • we will not be implementing CalDAV scheduling
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      CalDAV scheduling is just one aspect of CalDAV; see http://caldav.calconnect.org/standards.html
  • not trying to be a GTD specific tool
  • Chandler’s philosophy is different enough from GTD that it would be misleading to call Chandler a GTD tool
  • Our best articulation of our core value to date is: Chandler is a way to manage and collaborate on ideas using: A List View built around the idea of the Triage Workflow A Calendar View Chandler Hub Sharing Service
  • the user problem we are serving is an emerging market
  • there isn’t a shared, public vocabulary to describe what we’re doing
  • Better product messaging so that people understand what ‘user problem’ we’re trying to solve and how we’re trying to solve it.
  • more ways to get data in and out
  • web widgets (in the browser, on mobile devices and on the desktop)
  • We’re not looking to be a cheaper alternative to Outlook/Exchange. This means we’re not investing in support for free/busy-style scheduling. We’re not looking to be the ‘everyman’s’ version of Microsoft Project or Bug and Ticket-Tracking systems. This means we’re not investing in support for complex task and project management, e.g. task dependencies, tracking percent done, time estimates, robust support for assigning tasks, etc. We’re also not going to be implementing the GTD methodology.

      IMHO the e-mail capabilities of Chandler 1.0.2 require special explanation. Some explanations are offered within the FAQ, http://www.diigo.com/annotated/faf93764c6f6f5eb9a29268ad4b472de
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      The number and nature of the special explanations, criteria and limitations of e-mail in Chandler Desktop make me think that 'Email' its sub-headings, as currently presented in 'Get Started', should not appear in Get Started.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      I suggest leaving references, from the Get Started page, to pages that are dedicated to: (1) an overview of e-mail in Chandler Hub and Chandler Desktop, and of limited communications with IMAP and POP servers; (2) using Chandler Desktop to configure an IMAP server, and understanding the workflows (in particular, the aspects that are one-way, periodic (Chandler Desktop sync) and incremental (the effect of adding messages to a Chandler-specific mailbox that was previously synced)); (3) e-mail in Chandler Hub; (4) e-mail in Chandler Deskop.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      Critically: the overview should contain no instructions on use; it should present, in pictures and in few words as possible, the current workflow and vision, plus maybe no more than one vision of the future.

  • started a data model implementation from scratch and persisted it using Sleepycat's Berkeley dbxml and Berkeley db
  • Chandler repository is not really so much an object database as an item database combined with large collections of references directly stored in Berkeley DB
  • a somewhat steeper learning curve for programmers expecting a real object database like ZODB. My hope is that this trade-off is well worth the gains
